Lady Wan Guan

Gu Lin thought about it again and again: "Zhou Ting, do you and Jiang Wan Ning like each other?"

Gu Zhouting rubbed his hands on his legs, feeling quite embarrassed: "Mom, to be honest with you, actually...she hasn't promised me yet, but I believe that sincerity can make a difference."

When Gu Lin heard this, she felt really unhappy, very unhappy.

It turns out that it's really his son who puts his hot face on someone else's cold butt.

"The fact that you are able to like her is a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes, but she still doesn't like you?"

"Mom, I can't blame her for this. You must have heard about what happened to her before. She was bitten by a snake once and has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. She is afraid of marrying the wrong person again."

"Now her business is prosperous, famous and profitable. Her family loves her and does not force her to remarry."

Gu Lin said firmly: "Since she has no intention of getting along with you, please stop making things difficult for her."

"Mom, don't you just say you can let go of emotional matters? I have decided that I will not marry her unless she is in this life. If she doesn't agree, then I will have to live alone for the rest of my life."

"You, you are so worthless." Gu Lin was depressed.

There are so many good women in the world, but you only want one who has been married, and they don't like you, so you are still pestering them for nothing.

Gu Zhouting smiled bitterly: "Mom, this is fate. I accept my fate. If you ask me to marry someone I don't like, I will never be able to do it. Even if I force the marriage, it will only harm her."

Gu Lin's breath was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't come up or go down.

In the past, she thought it was Jiang Wan Ning who was pestering Zhou Ting. When she was depressed, she could even scold Jiang Wan Ning to vent her anger, but now she can't scold him and can only blame her son for not living up to expectations. This kind of blockage is the real blockage.

"Mom, you asked me this when you came back?"

Gu Lin took a sip of tea to suppress the irritation in her heart and said, "Mom asked you to come back because there is something she wants to discuss with you."

Gu Zhou stopped and straightened up: "Mom, what's the matter?"

Gu Lin said: "I want to recognize Jiang Wan Ning as my adopted daughter. What do you think?"

Gu Zhouting seemed to have heard a big joke: "Mom, this kind of joke is not allowed."

"I'm not kidding you. She came to visit today and told me clearly that she doesn't like you and has no intention of marrying you. We can't embarrass others, can we? You can't be husband and wife, and you can't be brothers and sisters. Good?"

How could Gu Zhouting not understand his mother's little plan? Accepting Wan Ning as his adopted daughter not only stopped him from thinking about Wan Ning, but also allowed Wan Ning to help him do things legitimately.

"Mom, she won't agree. Even the Queen Mother wanted to recognize her as her adopted daughter, but she refused. Can she agree to you?"

Gu Zhou stopped making nonsense. Anyway, the mother did not dare to ask for confirmation. To ask for confirmation would be to slap the queen in the face.

Gu Lin was surprised: "The Queen has had such an idea? She also refused?"

Could it be that Jiang Wan Ning is a fool?
Being the queen's adopted daughter means she is a princess. Isn't being a princess a hundred times better than being a county lord?
Gu Zhouting looked solemn and nodded.

Gu Lin was discouraged. She thought that recognizing her adopted daughter was a clever strategy. Didn't Jiang Wanning not want to be entangled again? Having become brother and sister once and for all, Jiang Wanning would not refuse this proposal. Who would have thought that if the Queen spoke first, her clever trick would not work.

"Mom, I have to go find her quickly. Tomorrow is the last day the emperor has set a deadline to solve the case. If the murderer is not caught, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this black gauze hat on my head." Gu Zhou stopped and stood up to say goodbye.

Gu Lin opened her mouth but stopped talking.

Is there any use in looking for her now?

Oops, it’s so uncomfortable, how could things have turned out like this.

Gu Zhou stopped leaving the house and got on the carriage, unable to help but laugh.

I'm afraid Mom has been holding back countless big moves in the past few days, causing Wan Ning to retreat in the face of difficulties, but Wan Ning strikes preemptively and uses retreat as an opportunity to advance, leaving you unable to use any move. Gu Zhouting went straight to Sanxi Hall.

In the tea room of Sanxitang, the fragrance of tea is refreshing.

"I'm from home." Gu Zhou stopped smiling and looked at her.

Jiang Wanning said: "Auntie advised you?"

"More than just persuading her, she also wants to recognize you as her adopted daughter."

Jiang Wan Ning chuckled: "It's hard for my aunt to come up with such a clever trick. What do you say?"

"I said the Queen wanted to recognize you as her adopted daughter, but you refused."

Jiang Wan Ning was dumbfounded: "You dare to tell such lies."

"My mother doesn't dare to ask for confirmation."

After a pause, Gu Zhou stopped and said, "You know my mother is not a bad person, but she just can't turn her head around for a while."

Jiang Wanning said: "I understand my aunt's character. Even if she doesn't like me or accept me, she will not use those dirty tricks. I retreat in order to avoid the situation from getting worse. I am really hurt." Emotions, it is inevitable that you will feel a little wronged."

Gu Zhou stopped and laughed: "This is not a grievance, I want to feel more grievance."

Jiang Wan Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.

"I plan to hide it from Guan San for the time being and go to the palace tomorrow to plead guilty and ask the emperor to suspend me from my post. Firstly, it will allow the mastermind behind the scenes to feel at ease and carry out her final plan with peace of mind. Secondly, it will be a good opportunity for my mother to take a look. Without you as a good wife, her son will be in trouble." Gu Zhouting's smiling eyes showed a bit of narrowness.

After leaving Sanxitang, Gu Zhou stopped to find Master Yao.

Last time I wrote a letter, a subtle reminder, but this time it was in person.

Gu Zhouting got straight to the point: "Master Yao, I really didn't expect that your Yao family would repay kindness with hatred."

Master Yao looked stern: "Yao Ying went to see Master Gu again?"

Gu Zhouting's expression was stern: "Now it has been spread all over the capital. It is said that Mrs. Jiang's flirtatious tricks have ruined the marriage between me and Miss Yao. It is also said that Mrs. Jiang's achievements were all obtained by me for her. Your Excellency has not heard of it. ?"

Master Yao was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"

Lord Yao really doesn’t know about this.

"My officer has investigated and found out that these gossips came from the servant girl in charge of procurement in the Yao family. The Yao family has always been a strict family. When did the servants dare to talk nonsense outside?"

Master Yao immediately understood what was going on. Apparently Madam and Yinger turned a deaf ear to his warning.

His face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Gu Zhouting was reluctant to give up: "Master Yao should know that without Mrs. Jiang's help in leaking the case, Li Zhong would not have spoken, and Jiang Pengcheng would not have been able to show up. Without their confession, I'm afraid you, Master Yao, would still be here." In prison, waiting for the Empress to question and kill you. Your Yao family is not only ungrateful, but also maliciously ruins people's reputations. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"

"I have clearly told Miss Yao that I belong to Lady Jiang and will not do anything he wants in this life. If she keeps pestering her like this again, I don't mind taking action personally."

Master Yao just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl down. It was so embarrassing. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such an embarrassing thing.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Your Majesty will definitely control your family and apologize to the Lord of Qingping County in person. Your Majesty will ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again."

Gu Zhouding nodded: "I hope Mr. Yao will do what he says."

If you can't control your wife and daughter, then don't blame him for being rude.
